Just spent 2 1/2 hours in the company of Hermann Göring, as portrayed by the masterful Russell Crowe, a taut portrait of a man on a seesaw with Rami Malek on the other side. The movie did a powerful job of showing us how and why millions of people were hypnotized by Göring and men like him, malignant narcissists with mesmerizing sales pitches — and also that Göring had a wife and daughter — in other words, that any of us could be another Göring, or another Stephen Miller. It is heartbreaking that 80 years after the world said, “Never again,” there are people who have forgotten that vow.
